The video shows NOPD taking guns...not the Guard.Oh, and what unlawful order did the NG follow during Katrina?
first, i don't decide what is unlawful, the United States Constitution does, which the oath of service binds one's loyalty when entering into service to the American people.
Second, the National Guard comitted treason by disarming the American people in 2005. Please watch the youtube video posted on the first page for more details.
I hope you take it upon yourself to study a little bit of history before calling people loons in relation to a subject you clearly do not have the atiquate educational training to understand.
This is why you aren't qualified to decide what is lawful and what is not...you don't know what you are talking about.
1+1=3, huh? How does mistaking which government organization is confiscating the guns disqualify one from knowing what is lawful and what is not?
Regardless which government agency at which level did it ... and the Guard WAS also doing it ... the fact remains they were confiscated.
However, the picking and choosing here is getting to be a bit too much. The LA Nat'l Guard is the state militia with authority only within the state of LA unless it is federalized. Thus, some people in NO were disarmed by the State of LA. The Nat'l Guard did NOT "disarm the American people."
The act does not constitute treason. The right to keep and bear arms was not infringed by a temporary confiscation in the best interest of the public safety during a crisis. If the firearms were not returned, that is a different matter.
I wouldn't have given mine up. Simple as that. I can't imagine that would have been all that hard to accomplish unless one was waving one's firearms around in the air.
Too much extremism, not enough common sense going on here from BOTH sides.
